CULTURAL AWARENESS AND EXPRESSION
Everybody learns every moment of the day. One can learn in various ways, like by talking to others, or by listening, by searching for information or by attending a workshop.
How do you behave with others? Can you cooperate? Do you ever do some-thing for someone else or for people in the neighbourhood?
Everyone has ideas and thinks about the things that can be done in an exchange project. But are all these idea being executed?
Do you know what is typical for your culture? Do you know why the Dutch use orange as their national colour, why Italians have an aperitivo, why the Greeks smash plates?
WORKSHOP nr 1 UNEMPLOYMENT WORKSHOP SITUATION At ďŹ rst, everyone had to think individually about his/her country and try to recall some data about the situation there. They had to use the experience they had so far and some examples according to their conception of business and unemployment or even their imagination. It was sometimes also needed the use of internet or the working experience of the older members. The most important part was the team-work, as the members of the groups had to cooperate. At the same time, they separated the different works that had to be completed according to their special skills and ideas.
CONCLUSIONS According to the results of the research, some important conclusions were reached. Countries of the South, like Greece, Spain, Italy, Romania and Bulgaria have higher unemployment rates than northern countries like Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania. What is also remarkable is that in the latter countries, the government helps young people between the ages of 16 and 24 years old to ďŹ nd a job when they are unemployed. Furthermore, the participants were in a process of brainstorming about the most valuable instruments that someone needs to start a business. Some of them are the capital, bank and law contracts, approval of the city, the appropriate knowledge, sponsors, advertisement etc.

At the same time they focused on the city services and function like administration, Health, Communication, Spiritual issues and Entertainment.

SERVICE Basically we worked on a short analysis to ďŹ nd out strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. One of the strengths is that our company has a powerful potential for the global development. On the other hand, one of the main weaknesses is that we have a lack of resources.
We created a structure of our company which is based on 3 parts: Marketing, Board of Trainers, Finances Our marketing plan has as target people of the age of 16-30 years that are students, young parents, youth workers and people involved in NGO’s. The second step is to reach them by media, information campaigns and different types of advertisement.

INDUSTRY ANIMALISTIC Animalistic produces drinks. The ones that are allowing you to communicate with animals in a very easy way. You can easily talk and understand the animal about ten minutes. Drink tastes really good and we have different flavors according to the animal that you want to understand:
dog, cat, horse, fish etc.
Animalistic factory is the biggest one all over the Europe and it is located in Busteni, Romania. Thanks to our I+D team we develop a kind of “magic potion” to make humans able to understand and speak with animals. But remember, it’s not magic, it’s science. Also we have special machines to distill it to offer our clients the best quality. The company who are behind all of it to secure the best communication between you and your pet. We are selling our products all over Europe. That means you can buy a drink also from all different countries in Europe. NGO and other associations support our idea: WWF, Greenpeace and locals animal lover association, due to how much we are going to improve the animal lifestyle (In the next workshop brochure you can see more utilities for our products and how we can help animals).
INDUSTRY We think every owner is dreaming about how to understand he’s or she’s colleague. But it’s not only for the regular dog or whatever animal owners. Also the people who are blind, can use this magical drink to communicate with he’s or she’s dog better. Or how good it would be if you are going to the veterinary if your pet have some injuries!? Pet can now tell to the doctor exactly where he is feeling a pain.
Basically the value and the possibilities of this product don’t have end. All things that you imagine to do with your pet or any other animal now can be possible. We resume here some of our customers: Pet owners, Circus, Police, Veterinaries, Zoos, Blind people, NGOs like Greenpeace or WWF… For the Logo we just take the first letter of Animalistic (A) and add some dog footprints. We think that is a simple logo that everybody is going to understand and it will be easier for them to recognize our brand in the shops.
The slogan is “It’s sounds familiar”, which represent the fact about humans and animals are going to understand each other finally, improving the communication and for sure their quality live and relationship. Also we have some “Promotional Slogan” like: Shake IT, Drink IT, Understand IT. To promote it, we will work in online promotions and some clips with “Funny situations” where we can see some of the benefits of our products in our daily life. No one can compete with us at the moment, so we need to be creative and original. That will do people loves us.
INDUSTRY The animalistic factory is one of the biggest in Europe. There are a lot of people that are working there in order to have a positive result. The HR, the management director, the operator management and the accountant are cooperating very effectively. They are organizing the whole production and are helping the other employees. More specific the operator management is responsible for the chemist, the engineers and the tasters, meanwhile the marketing director assist the sale manager. Everybody is working hard. They are working not only in an individual level but also in teams. Animalistic drink has a unique recipe which is protected. That’s the reason for not having competitors due to the fact that is worldwide known. It promote creativity and positivity. It makes the relations between the humans and the animals better. People who are using it are very optimistic and active members. Our company can be really beneficial not only for the human individual but for the communities too. It can offer better communication between the human and the animals. It is also eco-friendly and can be a very good solution in eco-problems, such as the animals in danger. This drink can also improve the animal’s lifestyle. The animals can talk to people and ask for whatever they need. They can complain about circles, zoos, etc. Due to the fact that our company is the only one that is creating this drink, there are some risks: Firstly, it’s of primary importance to promote our drink all over the Europe. On the one hand, maybe our society is not ready for this change or it is against people’s believes and feelings. On the other hand, some people may be addictive to that drink. This is really dangerous for our community. But Fortunately, we will have more costumer that will be supporting us.

RECYCLING PHOENIX TREE We provide services how to recycle memories, to expand the life in a different form. Trees instead of cemeteries in where corps do exist. This is the way how to remember a person even when the one is gone. This is the way how to make a ‘gone’ person still alive after the death. To make him alive and to give a second life – it is for relatives to remember, to visit it’s alive grave and to make cemetery of the trees. The “Pheonix Tree” as it’s known, would incase a corpse into a capsula like an egg shape and then be buried underground with trees on top of them. As our bodies decomposes,the tree would gather nutrients and from the decomposing pod, and the circle of life would march on. This idea is not about just keeping an alive memory about our relatives, it could also lead to replace the cemeteries with “living” parks. Instead of visiting a spooky, sad cemetery visitors will enter a beautiful memory forest full of hope and promise of new life. Loved ones would care for the tree, seeking comfort beneath is shade, which is far more than you can expect from a tombstone. Low maintenance swaths of land that require minimal irrigation will provide new and protected wildlife habitat, and serve as carbon sinks and natural “air freshners” to nearby urban areas. They anticipate advance purchasing of their burial capsules, stating that each client will be able to chose their favourite tree. The projetc’s site already has a number of trees to chose from.
RECYCLING Life after life! Can ‘’see’’ by looking at the tree. It is an opportunity to plant a tree instead to have a grave. Relatives can see their dead beloved ones looking at the tree which conception is in a different kind of form. The customers are relatives itself and people who are going to die and are in a condition to make a decisions on their own.
To have this opportunity there are many pluses for environment as well. Customers can feel better by feeling that they can add their hands to grow a tree in the park which is basically a cemetery. That means mother nature will say big ‘Thank You’. It’s conception is a corpse into a capsula like an egg shape and then will be buried underground with trees on top of them. This is how the circle of life would generally continue as a mortal combination in the tree. It can take a long time to grow a tree but it can feel that the customer have their relatives and also kind of symbolic for their existing generation.

There will be made new position which will be occupied by the CEO. It is called Ranger and he has to go to the small villages in the mountains and research for traces of unknown art. The main risk will be the lack of many people who won’t promote their skills that way. Also the customers willing to buy something could be quite limited. For this is too specific art and it is not popular among the society. “Naynas” will show to people the diversity of the regions of the countries. That appear in our platform.
